Expert maritime counsel for a complex vessel dispute

Mr. Papavizas provided exceptional guidance during a complex contractual dispute involving a chartered vessel. His deep knowledge of admiralty law, honed over four decades, was immediately apparent. He expertly navigated the intricacies of maritime jurisdiction and international regulations, which was crucial for our case. His recognition as Lawyer of the Year in this field is well-deserved. While his billing rates reflect his top-tier expertise at Winston & Strawn, and communication could occasionally take a day to receive a detailed response due to his caseload, the strategic outcome he secured was invaluable. I highly recommend him for serious maritime matters.
